"General Mi, General Mi!" The guards on the city walls stared at the newcomers with their mouths agape.
"It has been a few months since we last met. How are you all?" Mi Fang generously took off his helmet and greeted the people on the city wall with a smile.
That's right. This person was Mi Fang, the former Yingshang Governor and Garrison General. He was the current General of Yangzhou.
"General, aren't you already dead?" Someone on the city wall asked in disbelief. The three people from the Mi Family had all died in the Yu Province Army. They had died for their country.
"Yes, I'm already dead!" Mi Fang smiled faintly.
"Could it be that General, you're a ghost?" The guards on Yingshang were afraid.
"Of course I'm not a ghost. Have you ever seen a ghost come out in broad daylight?" Mi Fang said with a smile.
"That's true!" The guards on the city wall nodded in agreement. How could there be a ghost in broad daylight? They were just scaring themselves.
"Yingshang Governor Mi Fang, who was under the command of Emperor Liu in Yu Province, is already dead. The current Mi Fang is under the command of Yangzhou's King Shu," Mi Fang said to the people on the city wall.
"Guo Huai, how have you been recently?" Mi Fang asked someone on the city wall.
"General, I, I've been fine!" Guo Huai was the Garrison General of Yingshang. Back then, he was Mi Fang's assistant. When Yingshang's city wall was breached, Mi Fang knew that he could not escape. He covered Guo Huai and left. After the Yangzhou Army retreated, Guo Huai led the remaining soldiers and some local citizens to form a new Yingshang Garrison General. Liu Bei also gave Guo Huai the position of Garrison General.
"Mi Fang, Mi Fang, you betrayed the Lord. You still have the face to come back?" Seeing Mi Fang and the people on the city wall fighting fiercely, the Yingshang Governor was furious. No matter who Mi Fang was, he was his enemy. Even if Mi Fang did not betray Liu Bei, with Mi Fang around, the Yingshang Governor could not sit still. Therefore, the two of them were enemies. There was no way to ease the tension.
"Did I betray Liu Bei? At the mention of Liu Bei, Mi Fang's anger rose and he couldn't help but sneer. "It was Liu Bei who betrayed me!" Mi Fang lifted his head and stared at the walls of Yingchuan.
When Mi Fang was captured, his younger sister, Lady Mi, was also captured. Mi Fang swore that he would not surrender no matter how much benefits Liu Mang offered. If not for Liu Mang using Lady Mi as a hostage, Mi Fang would have directly committed suicide. This was because his elder brother was under Liu Bei. He could not implicate his elder brother.
Even when he was captured by Liu Mang, Mi Fang had written a letter to his elder brother telling him not to bother about him. He had thought that since he was in Liu Mang's hands, his lord, Liu Bei, would redeem him for the sake of his younger sister. Even if he didn't redeem him, he would at least redeem his younger sister, Madam Mi. Mi Fang had been waiting for this news.
However, in the end, both Mi Fang and his younger sister were 'dead'? In Liu Bei's hands, the two of them were completely dead. It was really a good scheme. One died in battle while the other died in grief. He even gave the Mi Family three noble titles.
If it was just this, Mi Fang would only feel upset. As long as his elder brother was around, he would still feel a little comforted. However, in the end, Liu Bei did not even let his elder brother off. Mi Fang completely exploded and gave up.
Back then, for the sake of Liu Bei's great cause, the Mi Family had given all their wealth to Liu Bei. The original Xu Banzhou had become the current Mi Banwen. They were so poor that they could not even afford to hire many servants in their residence. Only an old housekeeper had been maintaining the household.
However, what did Liu Bei report? It was three useless noble titles, but it caused the Mi Family to be reduced to ashes.
Fortunately, there was His Highness the King Of Shu. Only then could his elder brother escape this calamity. Now, he was in charge of Yangzhou's commercial affairs. He even had the title of Marquis of Guangzhou. Their Mi Family could be considered a rising star in Yangzhou. Mi Fang had also thought it through. Liu Bei wanted the Mi Family's wealth and would throw it away after using it. However, His Highness the King Of Shu wanted the Mi Family's talent! He did not want any of your wealth, as long as you worked wholeheartedly. Only this kind of lord could be relied on.
"General?" The people on the city walls did not know what to say.
"He is not a general. He is a traitor. A traitor!" Yingshang Taishou shouted.
"Yes, I am a traitor. This traitor wants to kill Liu Bei with my own hands. I want to see if his heart is black or red!" Mi Fang was also angry. The unhappiness in his heart completely exploded at this moment.
"Kill him. Kill him!" Yingchuan Prefecture Chief shouted to the guards at the side. "Shoot the arrows! Shoot him to death!" Yingchuan Prefecture Chief shouted, but no one paid attention to him. If it was not Mi Fang, they might have shot the arrows in their hands. However, this was Mi Fang. This was their former general. Everything that had happened in the past was still in their hearts.
"Do you want to rebel?!" Yingshang Prefecture Chief was angry. He pulled out his sword and pointed it at the neck of a guard. He threatened, "Shoot, shoot the arrows in your hands. Shoot him to death."
"My Lord, he, he is a general. He is a general!" The guard hesitated.
"He is not a general. He is a traitor. A traitor!" Yingshang Prefecture Chief went crazy. "Shoot the arrows in your hands. Shoot him to death. Otherwise, you will die!" Yingshang Prefecture Chief's eyes turned red.
"I!" The guard still did not dare to do so.
"Then go to hell!" Yingshang Prefecture Chief's sword suddenly pierced the guard's neck. Blood splattered and dyed the guard's face red, making him look ferocious.
"You, shoot, shoot your arrows!" He placed his sword on another guard's neck.
"Yes, yes!" The Yingshang Garrison was afraid after seeing the appearance of the person in front of him. He released the arrow in his hand. However, the arrow was powerless and fell to the ground before reaching Mi Fang.
"You too. You too. Die!" This Mi Fang was so bold that he was already within a hundred steps of Yingshang City. At this distance, even a commoner could draw his bow and shoot an arrow. However, this Yingshang Garrison Guard had missed. Wasn't this intentional? The Yingshang Garrison Guard ferociously stabbed out with his sword and killed another person.
"You. And you! "Yingshang Prefecture Chief's expression was ferocious. No matter who he pointed at, the guards avoided him.
"Guo Huai, surrender!" Mi Fang smiled. "You have no chance of winning. My lord's army is coming. That Liu Bei is a turtle in a jar. He won't be able to jump around for more than a few days. I believe you know that Yingshang has no provisions."
"Enough!" Guo Huai looked at Mi Fang. "General, leave! Even if there is no more provisions in the city, my lord will send them over. "
"Guo Huai, you are dreaming. You are abandoned, just like me. You have been abandoned by Liu Bei long ago. Now, Liu Bei is afraid of my lord after the Battle of Fan City. Not to mention your Yingshang, even Runan will not have much provisions. You have been abandoned long ago just to buy time for Liu Bei!" Mi Fang shouted from below.
"Abandoned?" Guo Huai was very uncomfortable. No matter who it was, they hated betrayal the most. "Guo Huai, think carefully.
"Guo Huai, think about it carefully. General Ge Jun and General Zhang Hu are right. If you surrender, then Yingshang will be under my Lord's command. My Lord will not do anything to his own people. On the contrary, you will also receive the 30% of Yangzhou's taxes. But if you don't surrender, then my Lord was able to break through Yingshang City once. This time, he brought several times more troops than last time. How long do you think you can hold on? Once the city is breached, Yingshang will become a pile of scorched earth! "Mi Fang said to Guo Huai who was on the city wall.
"General?!" Guo Huai was struggling in his heart. He did not want to surrender. Mi Fang was his general, but Liu Bei was his lord. However, Guo Huai looked at the guards and saw their hopeful expressions. He could only sigh.
"General Mi Fang, I surrender!" Guo Huai could only do this. The guards on the city wall had long lost their will to fight, especially after Mi Fang appeared. There was also Yangzhou's 30% tax and the scene of Yangzhou's army attacking Yingshang. These people had a deep impression on them. The machines that could throw boulders on the city wall had not been repaired. The traces were still there.
"Guo Huai, you also want to betray my lord! Good, good, good. Then I will kill you first! "The Yingshang Prefect was so anxious that he drew his sword and stabbed at Guo Huai.
However, how could a civil official like him be a match for a general? He had killed two guards previously because his position was high and they did not dare to fight back. However, Guo Huai was different.
"I am sorry, Prefect. Let me borrow your head!" Since he had surrendered, Guo Huai naturally had to be more thorough.
"Puff!" The war saber directly slashed into the Yingshang Prefect's body.
"Guo Huai, you, you!" The Yingshang Prefect looked at Guo Huai in disbelief and pointed at Guo Huai. However, he did not react immediately. A big head flew up and was caught by Guo Huai. "The Yingshang Prefect is dead. Quickly open the city gate and welcome the return of the Imperial Army."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The city gate of Yingshang slowly opened, and the drawbridge was lowered.
"Lao Gao, how is it?" Zhang Liao looked at the commotion in Yingshang City and asked Gao Shun with a smile. Zhang Liao was a little smug and wanted to see Gao Shun's reaction.
"En!" Gao Shun nodded and immediately led the army towards the city gate.
"Just a word of 'en'?" Zhang Liao asked Gao Shun in front of him. In any case, you should at least show an expression of approval. Would you die if you said two more words?
Sure enough, Gao Shun gave Zhang Liao face and said two more words, "Not stupid!"
"Puff!" Zhang Hu and Ge Jun were laughing in their hearts. Only Zhang Liao had a sullen expression on his face. "Lao Gao, you better remember this!"
